“The Courtyard” Transcript
When I look at this photo, I think of lemons, peaches, and guava. I think of lush green trees and
bright red roses. I think of good food and joyous celebrations—birthdays, weddings, and
holidays. This courtyard is where my grandmother lived and taught me about my Mexican
heritage.
Even though I was born in the U. S. and have lived here all my life, the courtyard is very
meaningful to me. It has helped me understand the importance of family and the cultures that
have shaped my life.
The courtyard symbolizes the importance of family in my life. It’s located in a small town in
Mexico where both my parents were born and raised.
